Begin here to learn about the Lego kit and see the unit plans available.

Lessons increase in difficulty within each unit.  Each lesson has a suggested lesson plan and pdf of the build instruction for teachers.  

Introduction tutorials:  Before beginning with the lesson plans, have students complete the Lego tutorials which show them how the components work.  This can be found here.

Below are the teaching units offered on the Lego Education site.  Two links have been provided in each section:

1. Teacher lesson and build instructions - this is the link to view the unit and each of the lesson plans within that unit.  If there is a build associated with the lesson plan, the instructions for that build can be found under 'Teacher Support', 'Additional Resources', and then 'Building Instructions'.

2. Student build instructions on Spike - this is the link for students to use to access the lesson story and instructions for their Lego build.  Some of the initial lessons do not have build instructions and students are encouraged to be creative and come up with their own build ideas.   

Note: For kindergarten students, it would be easier for the teacher to prepare the build and then allow students to code it in groups. 

Note: The hub may require an update - check the hubs in advance of class as it takes approximately 10 minutes to update.
